Summary
Matthew Mayich, 21, has “zero chance of recovery,” his family’s lawyer said after the Arizona State hockey transfer collapsed and fell into a coma during an Aug. 20 offseason workout.
Robert Carey said Mayich was disoriented and struggling well before he collapsed, describing the session as grueling and lasting more than an hour, with some athletes getting no rest or water breaks.
Carey also said the heat made an outdoor workout unsafe, especially for players who had not been in Arizona for a full week, and called for an independent investigation into what happened.
Arizona State has said it will conduct a thorough review, though athletic director Graham Rossini said last week the school was “just reviewing the facts” rather than investigating alleged wrongdoing.
Mayich, a St. Louis Blues sixth-round pick in 2023, had played four OHL seasons and transferred to Arizona State for the 2026-27 campaign after one season at Clarkson.
